This is a bit of a loose translation as many online translating services have issues with finding the english definition for the phrase:

Liosta Dubh = Listed Foe

Logic behind it = 'Liosta' is Gaelic for Listed

'Dubh' is Latin for Foe

Seriously though, after reading Once Upon A Crime by Michael Buckley (part of the epically fantastic The Sisters Grimm series - I love Puck!), the meaning of this phrase has been bugging me for a long time. After hours, and I mean hours, of searching for a meaning, this was the best translation I could get, and it also fits in with the context of the story. So, sorry if it's wrong but it is the best translation I could get out of the Online Translators.

Unless anyone knows the absolute definite answer, Michael Buckley may have to be brought in.
